Taking off from a song written by Van Morrison...
Feeling the blues, not just today but for some days now. Good for those whose mothers did not paint a picture-perfect grown up world for them. Much as parents want to give the best they can, protect the children as much as is possible...each one will have to go through tough times. This is good reason why when good days come they have to be seared into our memory --- something to pull out for when the days are not good.
It is grace to be prepared to face the rough of life. And it is grace to know that such times do not last.
